Thread: NASCAR 2011

Anyone playing this game? It is much better than anything EA put out.

Online is broken right now and they are fixing it, but the single player is great.

I'm thinking about it

The new company is making great strides to fix what is broken with special forums dedicated to bugs and the fixes they are doing. EA would have never done this.

What system are you playing on Ramy?

Xbox 360

They have many bugs in the game for sure but the game is not what was advertised. I can't believe someone can't make a good NASCAR game. This is not a good game at all. The last good one for the console was NASCAR Dirt to Daytona. The last good one for the PC was NASCAR 2003 made by Payprus.


As for this game I have to wonder who tested it. If you happen to go into the pits even if it's by accident like crashing they black flag you for speeding in the pits. And caution flags? Half of the time they never fly even during a bad crash.

The people who made the game don't seem to know much about basic NASCAR rules. I thought the EA Nascar games stunk, this one is far worse then that. Try playing online. And once again they won't let you drive into the pits with no help from the AI. I hate that. Pitting is a big part of NASCAR. All they do is let you pick what you want to do . Gas tires etc. You also can't fix any damage and when you crash it doesn't appear to effect the car. I crashed hard and they give you the option of a pit stop. I didn't pit and the next thing I knew I was back in the race with a great race car again.

The game is one of the worst NASCAR games ever put out.

I’m thinking of picking it up. I haven’t played a NASCAR game since the early 2000s. I’ve only played them on PC (still have my old steering wheel and petals in the spare bedroom somewhere) and they were from Payprus. The first NASCAR game I had required 8MB of RAM, my PC only had 4MB and the game would keep crashing, so I had to upgrade. Can you now race at all the tracks now? I know with the PC games certain tracks were not in the game, the last version of the game I had, had all the tracks except for Daytona and Indy.

I was thinking about getting it. I played the 2008 version, and it was fun. However, I got frustrated playing it with the standard PS3 controller. I could never get great times. I now have a wheel and I'm almost done with GT5, so I probably will pick this up.

I remember those days, playing Papyrus's Nascar Racing on my PC. Had a Thrustmaster steering wheel and pedals. Haven't tried this latest one yet, but all other console Nascar games were horrible, IMO.
